Hello,

i´m building a setup (with VS2005) and got a problem, in case i´m upgrading the software.
On a first-time installation i want to execute a CA, NOT if an older Version was installed and removed by setting the RemovePreviousVersion property.
At the moment i'm always executing the CA, no matter what Condition i use. Does anyone have an idea, what the Condition for such a CA got to look like ?
(PREVIOUSVERSIONINSTALLED wasn't the one, i'm looking for )

Is it the CA in the new or in the old package that you don't want to run? Remember the setup of the old version is called to uninstall the old version.

You need to take a look at the AppSearch table. The idea is to search for a file or registry setting and populate a property (this is what AppSearch triggers) and then have your CA test that property's content. The two main authoring tools have a UI to that table, to make that task easier.
